<v Speaker 1>Hell I Suck a Dating with Dean and Dared Haven.

0:00:05.080 --> 0:00:11.880
<v Speaker 1>I heart radio podcast. Hello suck Army, welcome back to

0:00:11.880 --> 0:00:15.200
<v Speaker 1>help I Suck at Dating. I am Jared Haven and

0:00:15.400 --> 0:00:18.840
<v Speaker 1>uh Dean Angler is golfing again, so he's not going

0:00:18.880 --> 0:00:21.159
<v Speaker 1>to join the podcast this week. But I have a

0:00:22.239 --> 0:00:25.200
<v Speaker 1>I'm kind of kidding, but Dean will not be on

0:00:25.239 --> 0:00:27.120
<v Speaker 1>the podcast this week. He's taken a week off. He's

0:00:27.120 --> 0:00:29.920
<v Speaker 1>recovering from last week having Kitlin on the podcast. That

0:00:30.040 --> 0:00:33.880
<v Speaker 1>was very, very emotionally traumatic for Dean, but it worked

0:00:33.880 --> 0:00:35.559
<v Speaker 1>out pretty well. I thought I gave both of them

0:00:35.640 --> 0:00:38.400
<v Speaker 1>some pretty softball questions. But I have a very special

0:00:38.400 --> 0:00:42.040
<v Speaker 1>guest who's currently sitting next to me in her glam room.

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:43.960
<v Speaker 1>I guess it's our glam room because it's our apartment.

0:00:44.000 --> 0:00:49.240
<v Speaker 1>My beautiful, wonderful, emotionally driven, amazing wife Ashley, I Ken Eddie,

0:00:49.280 --> 0:00:54.840

0:01:01.360 --> 0:01:02.800
<v Speaker 1>help us suck a dating. This is not your first

0:01:02.800 --> 0:01:05.360
<v Speaker 1>time in the podcast, though, so it's really not that interesting.

0:01:05.640 --> 0:01:07.640
<v Speaker 1>I mean, you guys know that I love to interject

0:01:07.680 --> 0:01:10.000
<v Speaker 1>whenever I'm walking in now the room and I hear

0:01:10.080 --> 0:01:14.479
<v Speaker 1>Jared say something stupid, which is pretty consistent, I feel, yeah,

0:01:14.560 --> 0:01:16.679
<v Speaker 1>but you know, stupid is what stupid does. We have

0:01:16.720 --> 0:01:19.240
<v Speaker 1>a wonderful podcast coming up, though, like I said, Ashley

0:01:19.280 --> 0:01:21.080
<v Speaker 1>would be here the entire time. We're gonna be answering

0:01:21.120 --> 0:01:25.200
<v Speaker 1>your questions that I posed, uh from last night on Instagram.

0:01:25.280 --> 0:01:28.240
<v Speaker 1>You guys have amazing questions like you always do, suck Army.

0:01:28.280 --> 0:01:30.240
<v Speaker 1>Thank you so much for submitting those. We'll be answering

0:01:30.280 --> 0:01:32.640
<v Speaker 1>them on the podcast. We also have a fantastic guest,

0:01:33.160 --> 0:01:35.679
<v Speaker 1>Lauren Francis, will be joining us later. She's of course

0:01:35.720 --> 0:01:38.480
<v Speaker 1>a relationship expert, and we'll school Ashley and I on

0:01:38.520 --> 0:01:41.160
<v Speaker 1>our relationship. Probably. We of course have some emails that

0:01:41.200 --> 0:01:43.520
<v Speaker 1>we're going to answer our favorite part of the podcast.

0:01:43.600 --> 0:01:47.800
<v Speaker 1>But first and foremost, Ashley, how the hell are you? Jared?

0:01:47.880 --> 0:01:50.960
<v Speaker 1>That's too weird to answer, but but I think we

0:01:51.000 --> 0:01:53.760
<v Speaker 1>should like talk about some funny things that have been

0:01:53.760 --> 0:01:55.920
<v Speaker 1>going on in our relationship. What do you think it

0:01:55.960 --> 0:01:57.600
<v Speaker 1>is so funny that's going on in our relationship? The

0:01:57.680 --> 0:02:00.000
<v Speaker 1>fact that you eat apple so loud? Nobody wants to hear.

0:02:00.200 --> 0:02:03.480
<v Speaker 1>I really think that most people will understand just how

0:02:03.520 --> 0:02:07.520
<v Speaker 1>annoying it is when you're significant other eat something so

0:02:07.520 --> 0:02:11.560
<v Speaker 1>so loud and obnoxiously. Well, let me ask you this.

0:02:11.600 --> 0:02:14.400
<v Speaker 1>In our first few months of dating me eating an apple?

0:02:14.440 --> 0:02:16.959
<v Speaker 1>Was that annoying to you? Um, I'm sure it would

0:02:17.000 --> 0:02:20.440
<v Speaker 1>have been less annoying, but it probably still would have

0:02:20.480 --> 0:02:23.880
<v Speaker 1>been annoying. What's the most annoying thing I do? I

0:02:23.919 --> 0:02:26.040
<v Speaker 1>really think that eating apples is the most annoying thing

0:02:26.080 --> 0:02:29.440
<v Speaker 1>you do right now? That's definitely not I'm not joking

0:02:29.520 --> 0:02:34.800
<v Speaker 1>you my overall pessimism on life itself. You've gotten a

0:02:34.840 --> 0:02:38.840
<v Speaker 1>little better at that. I've got a little better. You

0:02:38.960 --> 0:02:42.560
<v Speaker 1>used to think that you could. I used to not

0:02:42.680 --> 0:02:45.000
<v Speaker 1>think that anything was possible. You'd be like, oh, that's

0:02:45.000 --> 0:02:47.399
<v Speaker 1>a pipe dream. I think like you believe things now

0:02:47.960 --> 0:02:50.440
<v Speaker 1>I don't think you think. I mean, I'm friends with

0:02:50.520 --> 0:02:55.119
<v Speaker 1>Rob Thomas. Like, now I've realized anything is possible. So yeah,

0:02:55.280 --> 0:02:57.840
<v Speaker 1>no, no no, no, Like, you're definitely not as pessimistic as

0:02:57.840 --> 0:03:01.919
<v Speaker 1>when we first got together. I think that you're also

0:03:03.400 --> 0:03:05.360
<v Speaker 1>you don't get down on yourself as much as you

0:03:05.440 --> 0:03:08.320
<v Speaker 1>used to. Um, you feel I feel like you feel

0:03:08.360 --> 0:03:11.800
<v Speaker 1>more capable which you know, coincides with what we were

0:03:11.840 --> 0:03:14.040
<v Speaker 1>just saying. Yeah, I guess that's a good thing. Yeah,

0:03:14.080 --> 0:03:18.760
<v Speaker 1>I guess. Yeah, you're not that moody dark that's nice.

0:03:19.280 --> 0:03:21.399
<v Speaker 1>What's the most annoying thing you do? I know? Yeah,

0:03:21.440 --> 0:03:23.160
<v Speaker 1>we always focus on the annoying things that you do

0:03:23.680 --> 0:03:26.240
<v Speaker 1>because there's so many to choose from. Um that you

0:03:26.320 --> 0:03:28.680
<v Speaker 1>admit to it too. You admit to your faults as

0:03:28.720 --> 0:03:31.600
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I do as well. Yeah you do.

0:03:31.760 --> 0:03:34.360
<v Speaker 1>You're a little bit more I apologize from all the

0:03:34.480 --> 0:03:37.800
<v Speaker 1>time whenever is happening. It's much more difficult for you,

0:03:37.840 --> 0:03:40.080
<v Speaker 1>I feel like to admit your faults than it is

0:03:40.120 --> 0:03:45.320
<v Speaker 1>mine because I just probably, But it's because you're in

0:03:45.360 --> 0:03:47.640
<v Speaker 1>a good way. I think you're more confident in yourself,

0:03:48.440 --> 0:03:51.000
<v Speaker 1>where you're more sure about certain things you're doing, where

0:03:51.040 --> 0:03:53.840
<v Speaker 1>like I feel like I just navigate through life unsure

0:03:53.880 --> 0:03:57.600
<v Speaker 1>of every decision I've ever made. It's a weird way

0:03:57.600 --> 0:04:00.400
<v Speaker 1>of living, but it's gotten me here, so really, knock

0:04:00.440 --> 0:04:02.600
<v Speaker 1>on what I've been pretty lucky. The most annoying thing

0:04:02.680 --> 0:04:07.120
<v Speaker 1>you do, but you're right, Like I am slower to

0:04:07.240 --> 0:04:10.280
<v Speaker 1>admit when I'm wrong, but you can admit when you're wrong,

0:04:10.320 --> 0:04:12.360
<v Speaker 1>which is a big feat for a lot of people,

0:04:12.520 --> 0:04:16.640
<v Speaker 1>because a lot of people cannot do that. Um. Probably

0:04:16.680 --> 0:04:21.520
<v Speaker 1>the most annoying thing that you do is You'll get

0:04:21.560 --> 0:04:24.360
<v Speaker 1>mad at me for doing certain things, and then you'll

0:04:24.400 --> 0:04:27.560
<v Speaker 1>do the exact same thing, and I'll point out the hypocrisy,

0:04:27.600 --> 0:04:31.080
<v Speaker 1>and then you immediately get defensive and then start getting

0:04:31.080 --> 0:04:34.560
<v Speaker 1>emotional over it. I'm trying to think of a specific example.

0:04:34.800 --> 0:04:39.080
<v Speaker 1>I can't think of anything right now, but like I'll

0:04:39.160 --> 0:04:41.279
<v Speaker 1>do something or like I remember one time held at

0:04:41.360 --> 0:04:45.279
<v Speaker 1>this I complained it was I was complaining about. I

0:04:45.360 --> 0:04:47.400
<v Speaker 1>forget exactly what it was, but it was very first

0:04:47.440 --> 0:04:49.520
<v Speaker 1>world problems. It was nothing, but it was just something

0:04:49.520 --> 0:04:51.240
<v Speaker 1>that I just needed to get off my chest. I

0:04:51.320 --> 0:04:53.960
<v Speaker 1>knew in in the bigger scheme of life, it was

0:04:54.000 --> 0:04:55.640
<v Speaker 1>not a big deal, but in the moment I was

0:04:55.680 --> 0:04:57.320
<v Speaker 1>just perturbed by it, and I wanted to vent to

0:04:57.360 --> 0:05:01.600
<v Speaker 1>Ashley because she's my wife and a word, I had

0:05:01.600 --> 0:05:06.840
<v Speaker 1>a vocabulary. Your vocabulary is uh much more vast than

0:05:07.960 --> 0:05:12.400
<v Speaker 1>I completely I make words up. You say words incorrectly.

0:05:12.640 --> 0:05:14.880
<v Speaker 1>I say words incorrectly, and I'm pretty sure I make

0:05:14.920 --> 0:05:17.760
<v Speaker 1>words up. You do not I think I do. There's

0:05:17.800 --> 0:05:19.839
<v Speaker 1>a lot of times in conversations. I'll say something, but

0:05:19.880 --> 0:05:23.520
<v Speaker 1>I say it convincingly, and I don't think I think

0:05:24.279 --> 0:05:26.360
<v Speaker 1>people just don't second guess me because I sound confident

0:05:26.360 --> 0:05:27.680
<v Speaker 1>when I say it. Even on in my head, I'm like,

0:05:27.720 --> 0:05:30.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure that's not a word. Um, but like, okay,

0:05:30.800 --> 0:05:32.520
<v Speaker 1>So anyway, so I was perturbed by this thing, so

0:05:32.560 --> 0:05:33.880
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to invent to you because you're my

0:05:33.920 --> 0:05:35.960
<v Speaker 1>wife and that's what we do. You know, I would

0:05:36.000 --> 0:05:38.560
<v Speaker 1>never say this to anybody else because I know how

0:05:38.560 --> 0:05:40.160
<v Speaker 1>many school it is, but it just bothered me, so

0:05:40.200 --> 0:05:41.400
<v Speaker 1>I just wanted to get off my chest. So I

0:05:41.440 --> 0:05:43.320
<v Speaker 1>just vent it to you for a second. And then

0:05:43.400 --> 0:05:47.960
<v Speaker 1>you immediately said, like, okay, Jared, that's you said it

0:05:48.000 --> 0:05:50.800
<v Speaker 1>as if like I was annoying you, even though I'm

0:05:50.880 --> 0:05:54.200
<v Speaker 1>pretty sure I introduced the entire topic by saying, Ashley,

0:05:54.240 --> 0:05:55.640
<v Speaker 1>I know this isn't a big deal, but I just

0:05:55.680 --> 0:05:57.479
<v Speaker 1>got annoyed by it, so I want to vent about it,

0:05:57.560 --> 0:05:59.080
<v Speaker 1>and so I vented about it, and you're like, Jared,

0:05:59.080 --> 0:06:03.560
<v Speaker 1>that's that'siculous. Don't be mad about that. You introde it

0:06:03.760 --> 0:06:05.800
<v Speaker 1>by saying it's not a big deal. You walked in

0:06:05.880 --> 0:06:12.360
<v Speaker 1>and you were like ead, like a Tyrannosaurus rex. No,

0:06:12.520 --> 0:06:14.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm pretty sure you'd made it seem like it was

0:06:14.640 --> 0:06:16.640
<v Speaker 1>an end of the world thing. And then when you're like,

0:06:16.680 --> 0:06:18.840
<v Speaker 1>this is an end of the world thing, lah blah

0:06:18.839 --> 0:06:22.240
<v Speaker 1>blah blah, and I was like, Jared, that's ridiculous. So anyway,

0:06:22.400 --> 0:06:24.320
<v Speaker 1>so I got mad at that because I I told

0:06:24.320 --> 0:06:26.240
<v Speaker 1>that I just needed to get that off my chest,

0:06:26.240 --> 0:06:28.919
<v Speaker 1>and she was just not that was not the reaction

0:06:28.960 --> 0:06:31.560
<v Speaker 1>I needed. So anyway, fast forward a couple of weeks.

0:06:31.600 --> 0:06:33.760
<v Speaker 1>I'm sorry I did not. I was not there for

0:06:33.800 --> 0:06:35.680
<v Speaker 1>you as a listening here. You did not have to

0:06:35.680 --> 0:06:39.200
<v Speaker 1>apologize for it. But fast forward, you did the exact

0:06:39.279 --> 0:06:41.320
<v Speaker 1>same thing to me, were you. I forget what you

0:06:41.480 --> 0:06:46.680
<v Speaker 1>vented about, but you it was the most miniscule, small problem,

0:06:46.720 --> 0:06:48.440
<v Speaker 1>but it just like piste you off in the moment.

0:06:48.480 --> 0:06:50.159
<v Speaker 1>So you just needed to get it off your chest,

0:06:50.520 --> 0:06:53.359
<v Speaker 1>and you did. And I remembered when I did the

0:06:53.360 --> 0:06:56.880
<v Speaker 1>exact same thing to you. I remember what your reaction was,

0:06:57.040 --> 0:06:59.560
<v Speaker 1>So in my awful brain, I was like, well, I'm

0:06:59.600 --> 0:07:01.599
<v Speaker 1>going to get heard the exact same reaction that she

0:07:01.720 --> 0:07:03.360
<v Speaker 1>gave me a couple of weeks ago, and I know

0:07:03.440 --> 0:07:06.040
<v Speaker 1>it's going to piss her off, So of course I did,

0:07:06.360 --> 0:07:08.480
<v Speaker 1>and I said, Ashley, why are you so mad at that?

0:07:08.680 --> 0:07:10.960
<v Speaker 1>And you were like, because I'm just I'm so mad.

0:07:11.040 --> 0:07:13.400
<v Speaker 1>And then after and then I explained myself. I said, listen,

0:07:13.560 --> 0:07:15.080
<v Speaker 1>I only said that because this is what you did

0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:16.600
<v Speaker 1>to me a couple of weeks ago. And then you

0:07:16.640 --> 0:07:18.480
<v Speaker 1>got defensive and you started crying, and then it was

0:07:18.520 --> 0:07:21.640
<v Speaker 1>fine after that. But yeah, that was the most annoying

0:07:21.680 --> 0:07:25.000
<v Speaker 1>because I was like, I I feel guilty right now

0:07:25.240 --> 0:07:27.720
<v Speaker 1>because I made you sad, But I didn't. I was

0:07:27.800 --> 0:07:32.280
<v Speaker 1>just pointing out your hypocrisy. Okay, I know, I get it. Well,

0:07:32.280 --> 0:07:34.760
<v Speaker 1>you don't have to Okay, No, I know. I don't

0:07:34.760 --> 0:07:37.640
<v Speaker 1>feel like I'm sorry. I doub no, no, no, no,

0:07:37.920 --> 0:07:40.840
<v Speaker 1>you didn't have up. Yeah a little bit. No, I see,

0:07:40.840 --> 0:07:42.800
<v Speaker 1>I fed up because I should live in a more

0:07:42.880 --> 0:07:46.080
<v Speaker 1>understanding in the moment. It's not really it was av

0:07:46.400 --> 0:07:47.800
<v Speaker 1>I was just trying to It was a very small thing.

0:07:47.800 --> 0:07:49.400
<v Speaker 1>You had every right to be like, Jared, get over

0:07:49.440 --> 0:07:53.440
<v Speaker 1>it quickly anyway, that's our little uh. But seriously, you guys, like,

0:07:53.560 --> 0:07:55.320
<v Speaker 1>I know it sounds annoying, but Jared and I get

0:07:55.320 --> 0:08:00.280
<v Speaker 1>along so well. Knock on, sure, we like we haven't

0:08:00.280 --> 0:08:03.480
<v Speaker 1>even bickered a lot lately. That's why I advocate everybody

0:08:03.520 --> 0:08:06.640
<v Speaker 1>being friends with someone before they get into a committed relationship,

0:08:06.760 --> 0:08:09.560
<v Speaker 1>because I firmly believe the reason that we're so happy

0:08:09.880 --> 0:08:12.160
<v Speaker 1>and we're in a very loving relationship is because we

0:08:12.240 --> 0:08:16.240
<v Speaker 1>have that foundation of friendship beforehand, so like we'd never

0:08:16.280 --> 0:08:18.400
<v Speaker 1>get in big arguments because you know how to handle me,

0:08:18.440 --> 0:08:20.960
<v Speaker 1>I know how to handle you. We we developed this

0:08:21.080 --> 0:08:25.560
<v Speaker 1>rapport um that has created such a strong foundation that

0:08:25.600 --> 0:08:28.800
<v Speaker 1>we built a relationship off that. I I that's that's

0:08:28.840 --> 0:08:30.840
<v Speaker 1>the strength of it right there. We didn't build a

0:08:30.880 --> 0:08:33.800
<v Speaker 1>relationship and then try to build a report and a

0:08:33.840 --> 0:08:37.360
<v Speaker 1>friendship afterwards. We built the friendship and the report and

0:08:37.400 --> 0:08:39.440
<v Speaker 1>then built a relationship on top of that. And I

0:08:39.480 --> 0:08:42.480
<v Speaker 1>know that we're very unique in that, and we got

0:08:42.600 --> 0:08:45.280
<v Speaker 1>very lucky. I got lucky because you, throughout the three

0:08:45.320 --> 0:08:46.960
<v Speaker 1>years of our friendship, could have easily have been like,

0:08:47.360 --> 0:08:49.360
<v Speaker 1>piss off, Jared, I don't want to talk to you anymore.

0:08:49.800 --> 0:08:53.560
<v Speaker 1>Uh Luckily you didn't do that. Thank you. Maybe uh so,

0:08:54.080 --> 0:08:56.439
<v Speaker 1>I don't know. There's just like an extension of myself.

0:08:56.480 --> 0:08:59.559
<v Speaker 1>I feel like there's nobody else in the house that's

0:08:59.559 --> 0:09:05.160
<v Speaker 1>great yeah, all right, okay, Well do you have any

0:09:05.160 --> 0:09:08.640
<v Speaker 1>stupid things to complain about though, like like about the apples?

0:09:08.679 --> 0:09:12.480
<v Speaker 1>And Jared's been falling asleep on the couch at like

0:09:12.520 --> 0:09:15.440
<v Speaker 1>eight thirty every night, Like granted there was a time change,

0:09:15.480 --> 0:09:17.240
<v Speaker 1>and then there was another time change for us because

0:09:17.240 --> 0:09:19.120
<v Speaker 1>we went from East Coast to Pacific Coast. So like

0:09:19.679 --> 0:09:22.600
<v Speaker 1>she's like four hours off. So I get him falling asleep,

0:09:23.120 --> 0:09:26.760
<v Speaker 1>but like, also I like to hang out with him.

0:09:26.800 --> 0:09:29.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, falling asleep at eight thirty on the couch

0:09:29.440 --> 0:09:33.040
<v Speaker 1>is like, well, I do love falling asleep on the couch.

0:09:33.080 --> 0:09:35.520
<v Speaker 1>There's something so relaxing about it. But only when I'm

0:09:35.559 --> 0:09:38.800
<v Speaker 1>totally ready for bed. Teeth brush, face washed. If you're

0:09:38.800 --> 0:09:41.200
<v Speaker 1>not ready for bed, then it sucks. Yeah, but you

0:09:41.200 --> 0:09:43.000
<v Speaker 1>you fall asleep without getting ready for bed, I know

0:09:43.120 --> 0:09:45.839
<v Speaker 1>it sucks because then I get up And he used

0:09:45.880 --> 0:09:48.440
<v Speaker 1>to be moody. I used to be moodier because I

0:09:48.520 --> 0:09:50.560
<v Speaker 1>used to You've been very good about taking Lois out,

0:09:50.600 --> 0:09:53.719
<v Speaker 1>Like around ten if I fall asleep before I'd fall

0:09:53.720 --> 0:09:56.040
<v Speaker 1>asleep by the couch, I'd wake up. It's like eleven

0:09:56.080 --> 0:09:59.480
<v Speaker 1>thirty midnight, and I'm like, I gotta take loas out.

0:09:59.559 --> 0:10:01.760
<v Speaker 1>I gotta rush my teeth, have to wash my face,

0:10:01.880 --> 0:10:05.280
<v Speaker 1>and then I have to get in bad. Occasionally I do.

0:10:05.360 --> 0:10:07.560
<v Speaker 1>I didn't want to admit fully that, like seven days

0:10:07.559 --> 0:10:08.840
<v Speaker 1>of the week, I don't watch my face at night.

0:10:08.880 --> 0:10:10.959
<v Speaker 1>I wash it. I take showers every day, all right,

0:10:11.280 --> 0:10:13.160
<v Speaker 1>So I think that if I take a shower every day,

0:10:13.200 --> 0:10:15.679
<v Speaker 1>I don't need to wash my face at night. I

0:10:16.400 --> 0:10:18.640
<v Speaker 1>don't watch it. I don't think we were made Yeah,

0:10:18.800 --> 0:10:20.640
<v Speaker 1>and it's makeup. That's a big difference right there. But

0:10:20.720 --> 0:10:25.640
<v Speaker 1>you know your nose pores would say otherwise anyway. All right, So,

0:10:26.000 --> 0:10:28.480
<v Speaker 1>like we said, we have many questions from you guys

0:10:28.480 --> 0:10:30.800
<v Speaker 1>that were gonna answer later on in the podcast. We

0:10:30.800 --> 0:10:32.640
<v Speaker 1>also have an email that we're going to talk about.

0:10:53.840 --> 0:10:56.760
<v Speaker 1>I suck at dating. Of course, Ashley is by my side,

<v Speaker 1>author of the best selling book Dating, Mating, and Man Handling.

0:11:11.640 --> 0:11:14.200
<v Speaker 1>Something you could probably relate to it is Lauren Francis.

0:11:14.280 --> 0:11:19.160
<v Speaker 1>Ladies and Gentlemen. Yeah, hey, I'm so happy to be here.

<v Speaker 1>to go on day after day and have failure after failure. Yes,

0:11:31.600 --> 0:11:34.080
<v Speaker 1>that is my specialty. So yeah, so I wrote this book.

0:11:34.760 --> 0:11:37.160
<v Speaker 1>This book was just like completely organic. It was a

0:11:37.160 --> 0:11:39.840
<v Speaker 1>bunch of field notes that I wrote down for my

0:11:39.880 --> 0:11:41.800
<v Speaker 1>girlfriends who kept calling me in the middle of the

0:11:41.920 --> 0:11:46.000
<v Speaker 1>night and annoying me, and my boyfriend not calling me.

0:11:46.160 --> 0:11:48.600
<v Speaker 1>Just here you go. And then I wrote this book.

0:11:49.640 --> 0:11:52.079
<v Speaker 1>I wrote it all down and then it got published

0:11:52.200 --> 0:11:55.400
<v Speaker 1>and now people can read it. But yeah, I taught

0:11:55.480 --> 0:11:58.800
<v Speaker 1>I teach women how to be what I call proactive

0:11:58.880 --> 0:12:02.760
<v Speaker 1>in their love life, creates self esteeming relationships, and then

0:12:02.840 --> 0:12:06.480
<v Speaker 1>also help men, you know, be more happy inside of

0:12:06.520 --> 0:12:10.520
<v Speaker 1>their relationships. Well, how what do you think the number

0:12:10.559 --> 0:12:13.160
<v Speaker 1>one blunder is for people going on you know, those

0:12:13.200 --> 0:12:15.439
<v Speaker 1>first couple of days. I'd say like one dates one

0:12:15.480 --> 0:12:17.440
<v Speaker 1>through three when you're just kind of feeling out whether

0:12:17.520 --> 0:12:21.760
<v Speaker 1>you wanted to lead to a relationship. Okay, So well,

0:12:22.120 --> 0:12:24.040
<v Speaker 1>a lot of people right now are dating online. So

0:12:24.080 --> 0:12:27.360
<v Speaker 1>it became like an expert in dating and cyberspace. So

0:12:27.400 --> 0:12:28.679
<v Speaker 1>I have a lot of tips about that if you

0:12:28.720 --> 0:12:31.280
<v Speaker 1>want to talk about dating apps and all of that.

0:12:31.400 --> 0:12:34.520
<v Speaker 1>But you know, the big the big mistake that most there, Well,

0:12:34.720 --> 0:12:37.240
<v Speaker 1>there's a mistake that men make, but there's also mistakes

0:12:37.240 --> 0:12:41.000
<v Speaker 1>that women make, and so I think the mistakes for women. Right,

0:12:41.160 --> 0:12:43.400
<v Speaker 1>for your girlfriends, so you can give them a homae

0:12:43.400 --> 0:12:48.240
<v Speaker 1>hook up? Is uh that you know, first of all,

0:12:48.240 --> 0:12:53.000
<v Speaker 1>they're going on unqualified dates. So I feel like what

0:12:53.080 --> 0:12:56.839
<v Speaker 1>does that mean I'm qualified? Like the men unqualified? Or yeah?

0:12:57.000 --> 0:12:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Is it because like they're going on like kind of

0:12:58.840 --> 0:13:03.480
<v Speaker 1>blind dates. Yeah, they're getting you know, chronic dating fatigue, right,

0:13:03.480 --> 0:13:05.440
<v Speaker 1>they're getting you know, it's like romantic a d D.

0:13:05.600 --> 0:13:08.560
<v Speaker 1>So if you the first thing, like if you're dating

0:13:08.880 --> 0:13:11.559
<v Speaker 1>online right or dating on dating apps, I always tell

0:13:11.600 --> 0:13:15.439
<v Speaker 1>people to put what they want in their app in

0:13:15.480 --> 0:13:17.000
<v Speaker 1>their dating app. So if you want to get married,

0:13:17.120 --> 0:13:19.319
<v Speaker 1>put it in there. If you a great family, put

0:13:19.360 --> 0:13:21.360
<v Speaker 1>it in there. If you're just going for a hook up,

0:13:21.440 --> 0:13:23.880
<v Speaker 1>put it in there, and then people will swipe right.

0:13:23.880 --> 0:13:26.240
<v Speaker 1>It's like shopping on Amazon or you know the giant

0:13:26.280 --> 0:13:28.640
<v Speaker 1>catalog in the sky, right, So you want to just

0:13:28.720 --> 0:13:33.480
<v Speaker 1>be clear about what you are, what your romantic intentions are.

0:13:34.400 --> 0:13:38.240
<v Speaker 1>And then I always suggest talking to men or having

0:13:38.240 --> 0:13:41.400
<v Speaker 1>men talked to women on the phone first, because it

0:13:41.440 --> 0:13:44.000
<v Speaker 1>gets it just cuts to the crap. Well, it's just

0:13:44.040 --> 0:13:45.840
<v Speaker 1>like the amount of times you hear on these dating apps,

0:13:45.880 --> 0:13:47.760
<v Speaker 1>like guys and girls just talking back and forth, like

0:13:47.800 --> 0:13:49.360
<v Speaker 1>if I had a nickel for every time. One of

0:13:49.400 --> 0:13:51.760
<v Speaker 1>Ashley's friends is like this guy, he d ms me

0:13:51.800 --> 0:13:53.880
<v Speaker 1>all the time on the dating app, but he never

0:13:53.920 --> 0:13:55.320
<v Speaker 1>wants to talk to me on the phone call. He

0:13:55.400 --> 0:13:57.400
<v Speaker 1>never planned dates. It's always just like going back and

0:13:57.400 --> 0:14:01.439
<v Speaker 1>forth dates. Yeah, no, you just like cut that. You

0:14:01.559 --> 0:14:04.000
<v Speaker 1>just like literally, uh you know, you just say no.

0:14:04.400 --> 0:14:07.080
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that Do you think technology has helped

0:14:07.120 --> 0:14:10.120
<v Speaker 1>or hurt dating? Oh? I think it's like the wild West.

0:14:10.240 --> 0:14:13.160
<v Speaker 1>I think it's millions of people at your fingertips, but

0:14:13.200 --> 0:14:15.800
<v Speaker 1>then there's also millions of people and you at your fingertips.

0:14:15.840 --> 0:14:18.959
<v Speaker 1>So learning how to sort and sipped through. It's like

0:14:18.960 --> 0:14:21.200
<v Speaker 1>when you're shopping on Amazon, like, right, what's the best deal?

0:14:21.280 --> 0:14:23.840
<v Speaker 1>Like what we wish we had Google reviews like, you know,

0:14:23.960 --> 0:14:28.240
<v Speaker 1>what are Amazon reviews for? You know, love? But that

0:14:28.280 --> 0:14:32.960
<v Speaker 1>being said, the biggest mistake women make is that there

0:14:33.960 --> 0:14:36.960
<v Speaker 1>women hate to hear this. The first date really is

0:14:37.040 --> 0:14:39.480
<v Speaker 1>for men to kind of show off. So I get

0:14:39.480 --> 0:14:42.720
<v Speaker 1>a lot of complaints that women are saying, oh, all

0:14:42.760 --> 0:14:45.160
<v Speaker 1>he did was talking about himself. He was so conceited.

0:14:45.400 --> 0:14:48.080
<v Speaker 1>Has that happened to you. I'm just glad that you're

0:14:48.120 --> 0:14:51.360
<v Speaker 1>saying that. I know people can be like interpreting this

0:14:51.440 --> 0:14:54.120
<v Speaker 1>as sexist, but I do think that the guy should

0:14:54.200 --> 0:14:58.560
<v Speaker 1>probably like lead the first date and ask the girl

0:14:58.680 --> 0:15:02.360
<v Speaker 1>more questions about her self. Did I lead the first date? Jared?

0:15:02.600 --> 0:15:05.400
<v Speaker 1>Our first date was not at all, like I know, like,

0:15:05.480 --> 0:15:07.200
<v Speaker 1>what was our first date? What are you talking about?

0:15:07.200 --> 0:15:10.600
<v Speaker 1>The doom Boggie doom boggy? Yeah, I feel like I

0:15:10.640 --> 0:15:14.760
<v Speaker 1>love that. I feel like you probably did. Yeah, he

0:15:14.840 --> 0:15:19.600
<v Speaker 1>was driving exactly, he was driving and metaphor, no, I

0:15:19.600 --> 0:15:22.000
<v Speaker 1>feel like metaphorically you're I was trying to be as

0:15:22.280 --> 0:15:23.920
<v Speaker 1>as possible. No, I know I was driving to doo

0:15:23.960 --> 0:15:27.640
<v Speaker 1>Boggie anyway. Sure, so basics, but on a lot of

0:15:27.680 --> 0:15:30.040
<v Speaker 1>first dates, a lot of guys will like, you know,

0:15:30.280 --> 0:15:32.520
<v Speaker 1>kind of show off. The peacock They want to kind

0:15:32.520 --> 0:15:34.880
<v Speaker 1>of just know that you like them, so they'll tell

0:15:34.920 --> 0:15:37.240
<v Speaker 1>you all the things about themselves that are awesome. Plus

0:15:37.280 --> 0:15:41.240
<v Speaker 1>they're nervous. They're nervous, but they're also like used car salesmen, right,

0:15:41.280 --> 0:15:44.280
<v Speaker 1>so they know how many recks they've been at, many

0:15:44.320 --> 0:15:46.600
<v Speaker 1>miles they've had to turn off, you know, roll off

0:15:46.680 --> 0:15:50.080
<v Speaker 1>the odometer, right in terms of their age. So I

0:15:50.120 --> 0:15:53.560
<v Speaker 1>think the thing that most women don't do well is

0:15:53.600 --> 0:15:57.960
<v Speaker 1>they don't know how to see men and understand that

0:15:58.200 --> 0:16:00.720
<v Speaker 1>you know their peacocking and that they just need to

0:16:00.760 --> 0:16:03.040
<v Speaker 1>be complimented. You don't have to date them again. You

0:16:03.120 --> 0:16:04.880
<v Speaker 1>just need to kind of stroke their feathers and go,

0:16:04.960 --> 0:16:08.800
<v Speaker 1>oh my god, that's awesome. Tell me more, right, and

0:16:08.840 --> 0:16:11.760
<v Speaker 1>then it'll turn around. The focus will turn around on

0:16:11.800 --> 0:16:15.080
<v Speaker 1>you the next time. But usually have the most for

0:16:15.120 --> 0:16:18.960
<v Speaker 1>the most part, on first dates, men are super nervous,

0:16:19.600 --> 0:16:22.280
<v Speaker 1>and I feel like women are nervous too. I think

0:16:22.280 --> 0:16:25.960
<v Speaker 1>the thing is men are just far more unwilling to

0:16:26.600 --> 0:16:29.600
<v Speaker 1>admit they're nervous. Does that make sense? Like I feel like,

0:16:30.240 --> 0:16:32.720
<v Speaker 1>you know, for example, me and Ashley, Ashley is way

0:16:32.720 --> 0:16:37.040
<v Speaker 1>more uh willing to be transparent apparent about her nerves

0:16:37.320 --> 0:16:39.480
<v Speaker 1>were like, as a guy, I want to make it

0:16:39.560 --> 0:16:43.280
<v Speaker 1>seem that I'm not scared or nervous, even though inside

0:16:43.920 --> 0:16:46.400
<v Speaker 1>my heart is beating a million miles per hour. You're

0:16:46.400 --> 0:16:49.120
<v Speaker 1>like just a little a little jello, like a duck

0:16:49.120 --> 0:16:51.200
<v Speaker 1>on the mine. Do you ever heard that reference? What

0:16:51.680 --> 0:16:53.400
<v Speaker 1>a duck on the pond? You know, how duck on

0:16:53.400 --> 0:16:56.040
<v Speaker 1>the surface of the water is very looks still, but

0:16:56.120 --> 0:16:58.200
<v Speaker 1>underneath the feet are going a mile a minute. I don't,

0:16:59.720 --> 0:17:02.800
<v Speaker 1>it's exactly. Yeah. So I feel like women misinterpret, you know,

0:17:02.840 --> 0:17:05.520
<v Speaker 1>when men are kind of showing off, you know, we're

0:17:05.520 --> 0:17:08.920
<v Speaker 1>talking a lot about themselves, and I think they often

0:17:08.960 --> 0:17:11.360
<v Speaker 1>think that men don't like them or they're really conceited.

0:17:11.400 --> 0:17:14.240
<v Speaker 1>But I just think that's how men deal with first

0:17:14.240 --> 0:17:18.480
<v Speaker 1>aid jitters, and I think women often didn't get really

0:17:18.520 --> 0:17:23.600
<v Speaker 1>silent and get really annoyed that men aren't asking about them.

0:17:23.760 --> 0:17:28.000
<v Speaker 1>Did you find that with true? So? I? Yeah, um,

0:17:28.040 --> 0:17:33.120
<v Speaker 1>I don't honestly have any personal details. Yeah, I don't remember.

0:17:33.720 --> 0:17:37.359
<v Speaker 1>But my I'd say that people enjoy it when the

0:17:38.040 --> 0:17:41.680
<v Speaker 1>men ask lots of questions. My question, Lauren, is, so, say,

0:17:41.760 --> 0:17:43.200
<v Speaker 1>like a girl goes on a date with a guy

0:17:43.440 --> 0:17:45.960
<v Speaker 1>and the guy's only talking about himself. He's doing exactly

0:17:45.960 --> 0:17:49.080
<v Speaker 1>what you're describing. He's peacocking. He's not asking questions about her.

0:17:49.119 --> 0:17:50.400
<v Speaker 1>Do you write them off or not? Do you write

0:17:50.440 --> 0:17:51.680
<v Speaker 1>them off after the first date? Or do you give

0:17:51.720 --> 0:17:55.320
<v Speaker 1>him another shot? No, I would actually ask some proactive questions.

0:17:55.359 --> 0:17:57.480
<v Speaker 1>I would just say, oh my god, you're that's fascinating,

0:17:57.480 --> 0:18:00.159
<v Speaker 1>I would, and I would say I I often I

0:18:00.200 --> 0:18:02.679
<v Speaker 1>haven't feel like the most important thing in relationships or

0:18:02.800 --> 0:18:04.720
<v Speaker 1>do people want the same things at the same time?

0:18:04.760 --> 0:18:08.639
<v Speaker 1>Do you have the same relationship goals? But even deeper

0:18:08.680 --> 0:18:12.160
<v Speaker 1>than that. I really feel like it's important to understand

0:18:12.520 --> 0:18:15.040
<v Speaker 1>what you already know all about you as a woman.

0:18:15.960 --> 0:18:17.960
<v Speaker 1>So women often will share a lot about their problems

0:18:19.280 --> 0:18:22.280
<v Speaker 1>right or their negative dating experience. I think that's true

0:18:22.280 --> 0:18:24.760
<v Speaker 1>about men and women. They don't get you know, if

0:18:24.800 --> 0:18:27.360
<v Speaker 1>you're not happy, it's very hard for people to want

0:18:27.359 --> 0:18:31.520
<v Speaker 1>to connect. People want to be with people that are happy, right,

0:18:31.640 --> 0:18:33.879
<v Speaker 1>and especially during the pandemic, there's like a lot of

0:18:33.880 --> 0:18:37.080
<v Speaker 1>complaining that's happening on first dates. Um, I can only

0:18:37.119 --> 0:18:40.840
<v Speaker 1>imagine about what there's so much shock about. And the

0:18:40.840 --> 0:18:44.160
<v Speaker 1>political the political thing right now is so intense, So

0:18:44.320 --> 0:18:47.320
<v Speaker 1>I feel like I feel like it's important to just

0:18:47.359 --> 0:18:50.239
<v Speaker 1>know what it is that you want to create and

0:18:50.240 --> 0:18:52.320
<v Speaker 1>then see if the person that you're sitting next to

0:18:53.280 --> 0:18:55.160
<v Speaker 1>somebody you can see that potential with. So, I think

0:18:55.160 --> 0:18:58.760
<v Speaker 1>a good first date question, you know, to ask a

0:18:58.840 --> 0:19:00.840
<v Speaker 1>dude is to say, you, so, what is it that

0:19:00.880 --> 0:19:04.880
<v Speaker 1>you're the most passionate about creating? That's a very deep question,

0:19:05.000 --> 0:19:08.680
<v Speaker 1>most about Yeah, and then that just drops you in

0:19:08.920 --> 0:19:12.000
<v Speaker 1>and you're having like a more heartfelt conversation instead of

0:19:12.040 --> 0:19:15.800
<v Speaker 1>just all like the chatter that normally happens. And the

0:19:15.880 --> 0:19:20.320
<v Speaker 1>reason why that's super important is because as a woman,

0:19:20.440 --> 0:19:22.879
<v Speaker 1>you can't change the thing that a man is the

0:19:22.880 --> 0:19:25.280
<v Speaker 1>most passionate about. Yeah, that's a good first question or

0:19:25.359 --> 0:19:27.560
<v Speaker 1>not first first aid question? Wait, what do you mean

0:19:27.560 --> 0:19:29.240
<v Speaker 1>as as a woman, you can't change what a man

0:19:29.320 --> 0:19:32.080
<v Speaker 1>is passionate about? Like, what would you say? The most

0:19:32.200 --> 0:19:35.360
<v Speaker 1>important thing to you is what the thing that you

0:19:35.400 --> 0:19:39.800
<v Speaker 1>want to create? What I want to create? Yeah? For yourself,

0:19:39.800 --> 0:19:42.679
<v Speaker 1>what are you the most passionate about? Oh Jesus, Uh,

0:19:44.240 --> 0:19:46.560
<v Speaker 1>that's a great question. I am very passionate about the

0:19:46.560 --> 0:19:53.760
<v Speaker 1>pace it's specifically Tom Brady, Uh, Like, what do you

0:19:53.800 --> 0:19:56.760
<v Speaker 1>feel like yours is? Oh? God, that's what you're still

0:19:56.760 --> 0:19:58.439
<v Speaker 1>trying to figure out you know, are we all just

0:19:58.480 --> 0:20:02.760
<v Speaker 1>trying to find that out? Uh? My purpose, I guess

0:20:02.800 --> 0:20:07.600
<v Speaker 1>my purpose. Um, this is gonna sound really stupid, but

0:20:07.600 --> 0:20:09.760
<v Speaker 1>but I feel like my purpose in life is to

0:20:10.400 --> 0:20:15.639
<v Speaker 1>uh uh, this gonna sounds so stupid, getting a body boner.

0:20:15.720 --> 0:20:18.720
<v Speaker 1>I'm getting excited about to say something so meaningful. Well,

0:20:18.760 --> 0:20:23.959
<v Speaker 1>I was gonna say, like, uh, be like the glue

0:20:24.000 --> 0:20:28.159
<v Speaker 1>to my family. I that's one of the things that

0:20:28.200 --> 0:20:30.440
<v Speaker 1>I'm first of all, I don't even know if that's true.

0:20:30.480 --> 0:20:32.919
<v Speaker 1>I doubt it is. Well, not that I'm like the

0:20:32.920 --> 0:20:34.560
<v Speaker 1>glue of the family, but like one thing that I

0:20:34.680 --> 0:20:37.560
<v Speaker 1>love more than anything and find that I'm very, very

0:20:37.640 --> 0:20:41.119
<v Speaker 1>good at is dealing with people, specifically dealing with my family.

0:20:41.560 --> 0:20:43.879
<v Speaker 1>And it feels like a lot of times when I

0:20:43.920 --> 0:20:45.960
<v Speaker 1>go home, I bring the family together because I don't

0:20:45.960 --> 0:20:48.960
<v Speaker 1>live at home, and so whenever I'm home and I

0:20:48.960 --> 0:20:51.160
<v Speaker 1>see family, they're like my cousin would be like, oh god,

0:20:51.200 --> 0:20:53.280
<v Speaker 1>I haven't seen your sister, and like also the last

0:20:53.320 --> 0:20:56.399
<v Speaker 1>time you're at home, And I love that and it

0:20:56.440 --> 0:21:03.320
<v Speaker 1>gives me like joy, Yeah that's the case. So so

0:21:03.880 --> 0:21:07.600
<v Speaker 1>now we're having a really meaningful conversation. Yeah, that's true,

0:21:07.960 --> 0:21:11.280
<v Speaker 1>just opened up his heart and that's like the most so.

0:21:12.000 --> 0:21:13.680
<v Speaker 1>So what I would say about that, it's like, that's

0:21:13.720 --> 0:21:17.040
<v Speaker 1>an amazing that's an amazing thing about you, and that's

0:21:17.080 --> 0:21:19.879
<v Speaker 1>an easy thing for her to support. Well, what do

0:21:19.920 --> 0:21:21.760
<v Speaker 1>you think your purpose is that? Oh, god, babe, I

0:21:21.840 --> 0:21:27.439
<v Speaker 1>don't know. Um. I feel like my purpose, like past,

0:21:28.800 --> 0:21:32.320
<v Speaker 1>especially in the past couple of years, has been um,

0:21:32.359 --> 0:21:36.720
<v Speaker 1>making people feel like they're not alone or like just

0:21:37.119 --> 0:21:40.480
<v Speaker 1>somebody who's relatable, who's gone through a lot of the

0:21:40.520 --> 0:21:43.720
<v Speaker 1>things that they're like currently experiencing or felt weird about

0:21:43.720 --> 0:21:45.840
<v Speaker 1>in the past. Yeah, Lauren, if you don't know. So,

0:21:45.960 --> 0:21:49.440
<v Speaker 1>we were on Bachelor in Paradise and then Ashley ashually

0:21:49.880 --> 0:21:53.040
<v Speaker 1>got this reputation of being well she was very open

0:21:53.080 --> 0:21:55.600
<v Speaker 1>about her virginity being in her late twenties, and then

0:21:55.600 --> 0:22:00.440
<v Speaker 1>she was also very emotional, cried all the time, loved

0:22:00.480 --> 0:22:09.760
<v Speaker 1>boy bands, I like unabashedly, which is that a word? Yes? Yes? Okay,

0:22:10.680 --> 0:22:16.160
<v Speaker 1>like embrace all the things that are me and well

0:22:16.240 --> 0:22:18.119
<v Speaker 1>some of you know, the virginity thing was weird for

0:22:18.119 --> 0:22:20.639
<v Speaker 1>me to talk about, especially at first, but like whether

0:22:20.720 --> 0:22:26.560
<v Speaker 1>it's as trivial as boy bands or waiting for the rights,

0:22:27.000 --> 0:22:32.080
<v Speaker 1>you know situation. Um, girls would be like, wow, like

0:22:32.200 --> 0:22:35.880
<v Speaker 1>that's so cool to see somebody who is embracing that

0:22:36.400 --> 0:22:40.560
<v Speaker 1>versus like feeling like awkward or like that they have

0:22:40.640 --> 0:22:43.360
<v Speaker 1>to keep that in the closet. Were shame you were

0:22:43.400 --> 0:22:47.240
<v Speaker 1>like you were really up friend. So so your mission

0:22:50.280 --> 0:22:54.480
<v Speaker 1>of you know, being the glue and holding people together, right,

0:22:55.560 --> 0:23:00.359
<v Speaker 1>that's easy for her to support because and you actually

0:23:00.680 --> 0:23:03.719
<v Speaker 1>that's like a that's like a good devetailing fit in

0:23:03.840 --> 0:23:07.320
<v Speaker 1>terms of relationship. And I would say, Ashley, you and

0:23:07.440 --> 0:23:10.720
<v Speaker 1>she's I'm assuming she's super supportive of your family. She

0:23:10.760 --> 0:23:12.159
<v Speaker 1>doesn't give you a hard time if you're on the

0:23:12.200 --> 0:23:14.359
<v Speaker 1>phone or if you care about them. No, no, no,

0:23:14.680 --> 0:23:16.840
<v Speaker 1>not at all, like some women that are like that.

0:23:16.920 --> 0:23:19.920
<v Speaker 1>I like to listen to the conversations like the eaves

0:23:19.960 --> 0:23:23.440
<v Speaker 1>drop away. Yeah. Well I was gonna say family conversations.

0:23:23.440 --> 0:23:24.800
<v Speaker 1>But you're a part of the family. Yeah I know.

0:23:24.880 --> 0:23:27.200
<v Speaker 1>Well we usually are on speaker phone with his parents

0:23:27.200 --> 0:23:29.159
<v Speaker 1>and my parents and the and the parents always know

0:23:29.320 --> 0:23:33.520
<v Speaker 1>that the other is listening in the background. Um, all

0:23:33.600 --> 0:23:37.000
<v Speaker 1>right to checks just for a second, Lauren, give us

0:23:37.040 --> 0:23:42.159
<v Speaker 1>the landscape of virtual dating right now, because everybody's experiencing

0:23:42.160 --> 0:23:44.520
<v Speaker 1>it with the pandemic. So what is what is it

0:23:44.560 --> 0:23:48.760
<v Speaker 1>to like? What is it like dating in the world today? Okay,

0:23:49.160 --> 0:23:53.760
<v Speaker 1>I am calling this the Golden Age of romance. You're not.

0:23:54.359 --> 0:23:57.360
<v Speaker 1>You're not the first person to say that either, Well

0:23:57.359 --> 0:23:59.399
<v Speaker 1>then I'm just like seconding it or third in it. No,

0:23:59.720 --> 0:24:02.840
<v Speaker 1>what I meant is I think you're right. I think

0:24:02.920 --> 0:24:05.120
<v Speaker 1>people do you see what happened on The Bachelor, like

0:24:05.320 --> 0:24:09.919
<v Speaker 1>with you know, the last bachelorette, Claire and Dale. They

0:24:09.920 --> 0:24:12.000
<v Speaker 1>fell in love very quickly. I mean, so it's like

0:24:12.040 --> 0:24:14.399
<v Speaker 1>if you've been like sheltering in place and you've been alone,

0:24:14.520 --> 0:24:21.199
<v Speaker 1>like in your single and your single you know, there

0:24:21.280 --> 0:24:24.639
<v Speaker 1>was a lot of cushion around being single, where single

0:24:24.640 --> 0:24:27.399
<v Speaker 1>people didn't really feel single because they had, you know,

0:24:27.560 --> 0:24:30.200
<v Speaker 1>their girlfriends that they went out with. You had your crew,

0:24:30.240 --> 0:24:32.040
<v Speaker 1>you went to the bar, you hung out, you were

0:24:32.040 --> 0:24:34.720
<v Speaker 1>around family and friends, and all of a sudden, you've

0:24:34.720 --> 0:24:37.360
<v Speaker 1>been at home alone, quarantining, and people are like not

0:24:37.400 --> 0:24:40.119
<v Speaker 1>seeing their their families for the first time for the holidays.

0:24:40.160 --> 0:24:42.600
<v Speaker 1>It's like really hard. But my dad got sick. I

0:24:42.680 --> 0:24:43.880
<v Speaker 1>was like, oh my god, I don't know if I'm

0:24:43.880 --> 0:24:47.000
<v Speaker 1>going to see my dad ever. Again he's had and

0:24:47.160 --> 0:24:50.520
<v Speaker 1>he's fine now. But but so just so. But for

0:24:50.560 --> 0:24:55.200
<v Speaker 1>people that are single, I feel like navigating the pandemic,

0:24:55.440 --> 0:25:00.520
<v Speaker 1>navigating the crazy political stuff, you know, all of it

0:25:00.560 --> 0:25:04.280
<v Speaker 1>has really made people under And I live in California,

0:25:04.320 --> 0:25:07.639
<v Speaker 1>so we had like these amazing like fires and you know,

0:25:07.840 --> 0:25:11.720
<v Speaker 1>really like apocalyptic events. It's really made you go if

0:25:11.800 --> 0:25:17.480
<v Speaker 1>you're a single person single and I am alone in

0:25:17.560 --> 0:25:20.240
<v Speaker 1>the house and I ran out of toilet paper and

0:25:21.000 --> 0:25:26.760
<v Speaker 1>I am a terrible cook, and what the So I

0:25:26.800 --> 0:25:29.800
<v Speaker 1>think that it's made people really drop into their hearts

0:25:29.840 --> 0:25:32.560
<v Speaker 1>and go, wow, I actually need a partner, and you

0:25:32.600 --> 0:25:34.960
<v Speaker 1>know where if dating was like a box of chocolate's like, oh,

0:25:35.040 --> 0:25:36.920
<v Speaker 1>I'll have a bite out of you know. I think

0:25:36.920 --> 0:25:40.719
<v Speaker 1>that the you know, as a dating expert, especially for

0:25:41.200 --> 0:25:44.320
<v Speaker 1>you know, single women, like the dating culture got really

0:25:44.359 --> 0:25:46.640
<v Speaker 1>it was like a bummer. You know, women were just

0:25:47.040 --> 0:25:50.240
<v Speaker 1>so disposable. We we wound up being in a really

0:25:50.240 --> 0:25:55.040
<v Speaker 1>super disposable culture. And nobody's disposable really anyway. So that

0:25:55.080 --> 0:25:58.879
<v Speaker 1>makes sense because like this pandemic must be easing the

0:25:58.960 --> 0:26:02.400
<v Speaker 1>hook up culture. Mm hmm, Well, there is a hook

0:26:02.480 --> 0:26:05.800
<v Speaker 1>up culture, a big hook up culture for kids in

0:26:05.800 --> 0:26:10.320
<v Speaker 1>their twenties, you're just like, let's go. They're just so bored. There.

0:26:10.359 --> 0:26:12.600
<v Speaker 1>I mean, there is that, that's definitely there. But I

0:26:12.640 --> 0:26:15.119
<v Speaker 1>think that you know, people in their late twenties, thirties

0:26:15.640 --> 0:26:18.520
<v Speaker 1>and above, people are really like falling madly in love.

0:26:18.560 --> 0:26:20.760
<v Speaker 1>And I have clients. I have clients that you know,

0:26:20.960 --> 0:26:22.960
<v Speaker 1>just start dating and then all of a sudden they're

0:26:22.960 --> 0:26:27.439
<v Speaker 1>living together. Like literally, it's so and like what happened

0:26:27.440 --> 0:26:30.720
<v Speaker 1>with Claire and Dale and The Bachelor, they were like

0:26:31.920 --> 0:26:35.120
<v Speaker 1>they were quarantining and she saw it. They were like,

0:26:35.400 --> 0:26:38.400
<v Speaker 1>let's go. And that's actually what's happening right now. It's

0:26:38.440 --> 0:26:41.640
<v Speaker 1>really And then also people are breaking up. Yeah that's

0:26:41.640 --> 0:26:43.080
<v Speaker 1>what I heard. I heard a lot of people are

0:26:43.119 --> 0:26:46.440
<v Speaker 1>breaking I mean, honestly, it's not you know, this pandemic,

0:26:46.480 --> 0:26:48.760
<v Speaker 1>as horrible as it is, has you know, shined a

0:26:48.840 --> 0:26:51.600
<v Speaker 1>light on a lot of different people and relationships for

0:26:51.680 --> 0:26:53.800
<v Speaker 1>better and for war. It's probably all for better. Just

0:26:53.880 --> 0:26:55.400
<v Speaker 1>like you said, like if if you broke up during

0:26:55.400 --> 0:26:57.760
<v Speaker 1>the pandemic because you spend so much time together you

0:26:57.760 --> 0:27:00.000
<v Speaker 1>realized you weren't the right fit, it kind of worked

0:27:00.040 --> 0:27:01.640
<v Speaker 1>out because at least you found out in a short

0:27:01.640 --> 0:27:04.840
<v Speaker 1>amount of time rather than three years from now and

0:27:04.880 --> 0:27:07.639
<v Speaker 1>possibly you know, having it worse off, whether you know

0:27:07.720 --> 0:27:10.080
<v Speaker 1>you had to get a divorce or you know there's

0:27:10.160 --> 0:27:14.280
<v Speaker 1>children involved. Um, I don't know. It's a crazy world

0:27:14.280 --> 0:27:15.960
<v Speaker 1>we're living in right now. It's a crazy and the

0:27:16.000 --> 0:27:18.760
<v Speaker 1>thing that changed, you know, The thing that I'm suggesting

0:27:18.840 --> 0:27:21.840
<v Speaker 1>to my clients is to really kind of update your profile.

0:27:22.320 --> 0:27:23.920
<v Speaker 1>So if you just used to say I love zip

0:27:23.960 --> 0:27:27.280
<v Speaker 1>lining and you know, going to the Eiffel Tower, you

0:27:27.320 --> 0:27:31.200
<v Speaker 1>know you're you're really not doing that right now. You're

0:27:31.240 --> 0:27:33.560
<v Speaker 1>sitting on the couch. Everybody knows it, and you're lonely.

0:27:33.680 --> 0:27:35.879
<v Speaker 1>So uh, you know, talk about the things that you

0:27:35.960 --> 0:27:40.720
<v Speaker 1>have mastered during the pandemic. And I feel like really

0:27:40.760 --> 0:27:44.920
<v Speaker 1>having um suggest everybody gets on the phone for first

0:27:45.000 --> 0:27:50.239
<v Speaker 1>date and then does a FaceTime date afterwards, because you

0:27:50.359 --> 0:27:52.960
<v Speaker 1>literally are taking your life if you believe in COVID?

0:27:53.600 --> 0:27:58.800
<v Speaker 1>Uh whould I do? You know? You're taking your life

0:27:58.880 --> 0:28:03.040
<v Speaker 1>in your hands just making out or just taking your

0:28:03.080 --> 0:28:06.120
<v Speaker 1>mask off and having caught Like the stakes have never

0:28:06.200 --> 0:28:09.840
<v Speaker 1>been so high. So I feel like it's a really

0:28:09.880 --> 0:28:13.320
<v Speaker 1>good idea to treat first dates as phone dates and

0:28:13.320 --> 0:28:15.680
<v Speaker 1>then do a FaceTime date and see if they look cute,

0:28:15.720 --> 0:28:17.280
<v Speaker 1>like if they look like they look in their picture,

0:28:17.359 --> 0:28:19.520
<v Speaker 1>if you two look like you look like this is

0:28:19.560 --> 0:28:23.359
<v Speaker 1>the cutest you too, are delicious, Lauren, Well, thank you

0:28:23.400 --> 0:28:25.600
<v Speaker 1>so much. That's so nice of you to say you're

0:28:25.720 --> 0:28:28.800
<v Speaker 1>You're welcome to come back on the podcast anytime. I will.

0:28:28.840 --> 0:28:31.440
<v Speaker 1>And I'm not just flattering you. It's just like super cute.

0:28:31.480 --> 0:28:35.800
<v Speaker 1>You're just like very cute anyway. So so I would

0:28:35.920 --> 0:28:39.240
<v Speaker 1>use the zoom like that FaceTime date and get a

0:28:39.320 --> 0:28:43.000
<v Speaker 1>ring light so you look cute, you know, doing interviews,

0:28:43.160 --> 0:28:45.360
<v Speaker 1>just like get a ring light and you know, set

0:28:45.400 --> 0:28:46.960
<v Speaker 1>up a time for It's just you can just say, hey,

0:28:47.000 --> 0:28:48.840
<v Speaker 1>you know, having so much fun talking to you, I think,

0:28:49.560 --> 0:28:52.200
<v Speaker 1>well let's set up a FaceTime date. I completely agree.

0:28:52.240 --> 0:28:54.120
<v Speaker 1>I think FaceTime dates are great. We should have really

0:28:54.120 --> 0:28:56.840
<v Speaker 1>invested in ring lights before all this happened. You really

0:28:56.880 --> 0:29:00.280
<v Speaker 1>don't need one yet I did. Um. But then you know,

0:29:00.320 --> 0:29:02.480
<v Speaker 1>you do the FaceTime date and then you treat it

0:29:02.520 --> 0:29:05.320
<v Speaker 1>like a first date, so you just get dressed. Yeah,

0:29:06.000 --> 0:29:09.160
<v Speaker 1>well you know that's kind of well, usually have a

0:29:09.280 --> 0:29:11.600
<v Speaker 1>drink too, Like do you want to meet for drinks

0:29:11.680 --> 0:29:14.600
<v Speaker 1>via zoom? Yes, you could have like a zoom date.

0:29:14.600 --> 0:29:16.280
<v Speaker 1>We talked about on the podcast before where you can

0:29:16.280 --> 0:29:18.440
<v Speaker 1>get like listen, you don't have to go over the top,

0:29:18.520 --> 0:29:21.280
<v Speaker 1>but like you know, it's the one time where you

0:29:21.280 --> 0:29:22.920
<v Speaker 1>get to like kind of dress up and even if

0:29:22.960 --> 0:29:24.520
<v Speaker 1>you can't leave your house, you have a nice little

0:29:24.600 --> 0:29:27.240
<v Speaker 1>zoom day and you make like a martini or you know,

0:29:27.280 --> 0:29:30.160
<v Speaker 1>whatever you want to do, have fun with it. Virtual cocktails, yeah,

0:29:30.240 --> 0:29:33.920
<v Speaker 1>virtual cocktails. I mean you're not driving home, You're fine. Um.

0:29:33.960 --> 0:29:36.400
<v Speaker 1>And also I agree update your your profile so if

0:29:36.440 --> 0:29:39.239
<v Speaker 1>it says I like going to the Eiffel Tower, just

0:29:39.320 --> 0:29:42.200
<v Speaker 1>change that to um, I love going to the refrigerator. Yeah,

0:29:42.200 --> 0:29:44.920
<v Speaker 1>I love binge watching Ozark. I actually this was the

0:29:44.960 --> 0:29:47.719
<v Speaker 1>funniest thing I started. So when COVID happened, I was like,

0:29:47.720 --> 0:29:49.760
<v Speaker 1>I gotta help my ladies because I do tell a class.

0:29:49.760 --> 0:29:51.680
<v Speaker 1>You know, I do a lot of you know, tele

0:29:51.760 --> 0:29:55.400
<v Speaker 1>classes and got a podcast. Um uh dose avitam l.

0:29:55.480 --> 0:29:57.320
<v Speaker 1>But I have a lot of free stuff on my side,

0:29:57.360 --> 0:29:59.760
<v Speaker 1>people to go to and get go my book. It's

0:29:59.800 --> 0:30:01.920
<v Speaker 1>my plug. But I started to be called the Ring

0:30:02.040 --> 0:30:04.080
<v Speaker 1>and it was like just all my ladies who were

0:30:04.120 --> 0:30:06.800
<v Speaker 1>single during COVID, and I started coaching them and a

0:30:06.840 --> 0:30:08.760
<v Speaker 1>lot of them wound up in relationships. But one of

0:30:08.800 --> 0:30:11.360
<v Speaker 1>the first adapters after the lockdown, I think it was

0:30:11.480 --> 0:30:15.440
<v Speaker 1>great was meeting She had her first date in a

0:30:15.560 --> 0:30:21.120
<v Speaker 1>parking lot in front of Costco. They literally met her,

0:30:21.200 --> 0:30:23.680
<v Speaker 1>and then they did some light shopping together, and then

0:30:23.680 --> 0:30:26.800
<v Speaker 1>they met at another like shop. And then I said, Okay,

0:30:26.840 --> 0:30:28.880
<v Speaker 1>if when you meet in front of a pharmacy, I'm

0:30:28.880 --> 0:30:30.720
<v Speaker 1>going to know it's seriously Yeah, that sounds like a

0:30:30.720 --> 0:30:33.920
<v Speaker 1>great day to me. I'm not a little shopping at Costco.

0:30:34.000 --> 0:30:36.479
<v Speaker 1>I'll do that fine. He had a Costco, she had

0:30:36.480 --> 0:30:38.840
<v Speaker 1>a Costco card, and he didn't. They met a Costcoit's

<v Speaker 1>you know what, We're gonna have a little question panel.

0:31:55.400 --> 0:31:58.760
<v Speaker 1>Why not when Dean's not here? What is it when

0:31:58.760 --> 0:32:01.160
<v Speaker 1>the cat's away? The mice will That's what we're doing today.

0:32:01.840 --> 0:32:04.480
<v Speaker 1>Uh So some of your questions are really good. I

0:32:04.600 --> 0:32:07.080
<v Speaker 1>like this one. What are your thoughts on the right

0:32:07.240 --> 0:32:10.360
<v Speaker 1>person at the wrong time? So I used to think

0:32:10.400 --> 0:32:12.840
<v Speaker 1>that was a total excuse. I was like, the right

0:32:12.880 --> 0:32:18.120
<v Speaker 1>person will want to be with you whenever is now? Um,

0:32:18.240 --> 0:32:22.360
<v Speaker 1>But then obviously Jared is case in point an example

0:32:22.480 --> 0:32:26.440
<v Speaker 1>that that does not stick. Um, you can know the

0:32:26.520 --> 0:32:28.520
<v Speaker 1>right person and it'd be the wrong time for them,

0:32:28.600 --> 0:32:34.800
<v Speaker 1>for sure, But I don't think that that is a

0:32:34.920 --> 0:32:38.440
<v Speaker 1>common thing. What are you looking at me like that for?

0:32:38.640 --> 0:32:40.000
<v Speaker 1>I don't know where you're going with this. I don't

0:32:40.040 --> 0:32:41.320
<v Speaker 1>know where I'm going with us either, But do you

0:32:41.320 --> 0:32:43.200
<v Speaker 1>know what I'm talking about? Because like I'll have friends

0:32:43.240 --> 0:32:44.840
<v Speaker 1>and I'll be like, I think it was just the

0:32:44.920 --> 0:32:47.480
<v Speaker 1>wrong time for him, and I'll be like, no, that's

0:32:47.520 --> 0:32:50.440
<v Speaker 1>b s. But with us it was true. So maybe

0:32:50.480 --> 0:32:52.160
<v Speaker 1>I don't know anything. Well, Becky, what do you think

0:32:52.160 --> 0:32:53.720
<v Speaker 1>Do you think that there's a such thing as the

0:32:53.800 --> 0:32:56.080
<v Speaker 1>right person, wrong time or if it's the wrong time,

0:32:56.120 --> 0:32:59.920
<v Speaker 1>it's just the wrong person. Um. I wouldn't say like

0:33:00.480 --> 0:33:03.160
<v Speaker 1>it's just the wrong time and it's the wrong person.

0:33:03.280 --> 0:33:06.640
<v Speaker 1>I think that there's certain people in your life that

0:33:06.640 --> 0:33:10.200
<v Speaker 1>are in for certain seasons, um. And maybe it's just

0:33:10.320 --> 0:33:15.920
<v Speaker 1>not supposed to happen in the future. But um, I

0:33:15.760 --> 0:33:18.680
<v Speaker 1>I don't have a personal experience or know any friends

0:33:18.720 --> 0:33:22.040
<v Speaker 1>that have like eventually gotten back with their person and

0:33:22.080 --> 0:33:25.280
<v Speaker 1>it worked out. It never really worked out in the end,

0:33:25.360 --> 0:33:30.560
<v Speaker 1>and it was really the wrong person times that than

0:33:30.680 --> 0:33:36.320
<v Speaker 1>the opposite on this one, maybe Easterns. I mean this,

0:33:36.480 --> 0:33:39.880
<v Speaker 1>this kind of thing happened to me too, Like I

0:33:40.000 --> 0:33:42.640
<v Speaker 1>wast friends with my wife for like almost a decade

0:33:42.680 --> 0:33:48.800
<v Speaker 1>before we started dating, such a long bedding process. I mean,

0:33:48.840 --> 0:33:51.720
<v Speaker 1>I know, you guys can relate. We were one third year.

0:33:55.320 --> 0:33:56.920
<v Speaker 1>You know, you've got to be really sure, that's what

0:33:56.960 --> 0:34:01.440
<v Speaker 1>they always say. But I don't remember having a crush

0:34:01.480 --> 0:34:04.520
<v Speaker 1>on Allison, like when we just worked together, and she

0:34:04.520 --> 0:34:06.400
<v Speaker 1>she says she felt the same way, and we were

0:34:06.400 --> 0:34:08.719
<v Speaker 1>both in other relationships, And I like to think that

0:34:08.760 --> 0:34:10.279
<v Speaker 1>it was the right person, just at the wrong time,

0:34:10.320 --> 0:34:13.000
<v Speaker 1>and at least on my part, I definitely had a

0:34:13.000 --> 0:34:14.600
<v Speaker 1>lot of growing up to do before I was able

0:34:14.640 --> 0:34:18.319
<v Speaker 1>to be the partner that she deserved. And she's been

0:34:18.320 --> 0:34:20.080
<v Speaker 1>fine the whole time, So it's always the right time

0:34:21.400 --> 0:34:23.600
<v Speaker 1>you needed to clean your act up. But I think

0:34:23.719 --> 0:34:25.799
<v Speaker 1>that can happen. I definitely think so well. Jared and I.

0:34:26.480 --> 0:34:30.120
<v Speaker 1>You especially say that if we got together during Bachelor

0:34:30.160 --> 0:34:33.400
<v Speaker 1>in Paradise too, and we were like an official boyfriend girlfriend,

0:34:33.520 --> 0:34:37.160
<v Speaker 1>you don't think that we would have survived the entire

0:34:37.239 --> 0:34:39.440
<v Speaker 1>way through. You think that we eventually would have gotten

0:34:39.440 --> 0:34:42.680
<v Speaker 1>back together but he thinks that we would have had

0:34:42.719 --> 0:34:44.759
<v Speaker 1>like some sort of we would have we would have

0:34:44.840 --> 0:34:47.080
<v Speaker 1>had way more rough patches. I agree with that. I

0:34:47.160 --> 0:34:48.919
<v Speaker 1>think both you and I had a lot of growing

0:34:49.000 --> 0:34:50.840
<v Speaker 1>up to do in these few years that we became friends.

0:34:51.040 --> 0:34:53.640
<v Speaker 1>So it worked out really well. But we just got

0:34:53.680 --> 0:34:55.920
<v Speaker 1>super lucky, because it doesn't work out for a lot

0:34:55.920 --> 0:34:58.160
<v Speaker 1>of people, because people move on and life goes on.

0:34:58.560 --> 0:35:01.400
<v Speaker 1>You hear so many here's some stories about people who

0:35:01.440 --> 0:35:04.319
<v Speaker 1>were like, oh, I rekindled things with like my high

0:35:04.320 --> 0:35:10.399
<v Speaker 1>school boyfriend decades after. You know. Yeah, all right, next

0:35:10.480 --> 0:35:13.359
<v Speaker 1>question comes from our very own tory. I'm gonna call

0:35:13.400 --> 0:35:16.080
<v Speaker 1>out on this one, good old tour. We miss you.

0:35:16.680 --> 0:35:20.040
<v Speaker 1>She goes, I'm not joking about this. How much is

0:35:20.120 --> 0:35:23.600
<v Speaker 1>too much porn? A guy told me he watches almost

0:35:23.920 --> 0:35:26.600
<v Speaker 1>every night? I think every night. If you're watching porn

0:35:26.640 --> 0:35:27.920
<v Speaker 1>every night, I think I think that might be a

0:35:27.960 --> 0:35:30.279
<v Speaker 1>little bit too much, especially like, well, here's the thing,

0:35:30.320 --> 0:35:32.960
<v Speaker 1>is the dude single. Is he in a relationship that's

0:35:33.000 --> 0:35:35.680
<v Speaker 1>you know, that's a big difference. Obviously, answer this question.

0:35:35.920 --> 0:35:38.560
<v Speaker 1>You don't want to answer this one, you know, So

0:35:38.680 --> 0:35:42.040
<v Speaker 1>why don't you take this one first? Hey? You know,

0:35:42.160 --> 0:35:47.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean it's all up to Sometimes any porn is

0:35:47.440 --> 0:35:49.880
<v Speaker 1>too much pored. And sometimes I think when it like

0:35:50.239 --> 0:35:53.080
<v Speaker 1>affects your work and your daily routine, I think that's

0:35:53.160 --> 0:35:56.160
<v Speaker 1>when it becomes a problem. Like like I mean, I'm

0:35:56.160 --> 0:35:58.080
<v Speaker 1>trying to watch them right now, this damn podcast is

0:35:58.120 --> 0:36:01.759
<v Speaker 1>in the way, but yeah, really affects the Wi Fi quality. Yeah,

0:36:01.840 --> 0:36:04.640
<v Speaker 1>you know, I gotta watch it. That's horrible, But you know,

0:36:05.160 --> 0:36:08.840
<v Speaker 1>I mean, I don't know I personally every night is

0:36:09.560 --> 0:36:12.280
<v Speaker 1>I mean, it seems excessive to me, but it seems

0:36:12.280 --> 0:36:14.960
<v Speaker 1>a little excessive. Not gonna lie, Becky, I'll I'll get

0:36:15.000 --> 0:36:16.239
<v Speaker 1>you off the hook on this one. You don't have

0:36:16.280 --> 0:36:19.560
<v Speaker 1>to answer that one. Uh. This comes from Julie. It

0:36:19.640 --> 0:36:22.960
<v Speaker 1>says a guy and I are six months in exclusive

0:36:23.120 --> 0:36:27.400
<v Speaker 1>but no titles. Should I be worried? Six months exclusivity?

0:36:27.400 --> 0:36:29.399
<v Speaker 1>But you guys are a boyfriend girlfriend Okay, so being

0:36:29.520 --> 0:36:31.880
<v Speaker 1>exclusive means your boyfriend and girlfriend. This guy obviously just

0:36:31.960 --> 0:36:35.279
<v Speaker 1>isn't like labels. Yeah, but I don't like that. But

0:36:35.320 --> 0:36:38.400
<v Speaker 1>maybe he's maybe he's lying. Maybe he's saying that he

0:36:38.480 --> 0:36:40.759
<v Speaker 1>doesn't want the label because he's actually dating someone else

0:36:40.800 --> 0:36:42.560
<v Speaker 1>and he's just saying that he's exclusive to her. Even

0:36:42.560 --> 0:36:45.759
<v Speaker 1>though he wants to, you know, mingle around. I don't

0:36:45.760 --> 0:36:48.560
<v Speaker 1>know that it doesn't make any sense. It goes hand

0:36:48.560 --> 0:36:51.040
<v Speaker 1>in hand if you are exclusive your boyfriend and girlfriend,

0:36:51.080 --> 0:36:53.160
<v Speaker 1>and if you are not exclusive, but it leaves that

0:36:53.280 --> 0:36:57.400
<v Speaker 1>little loophole, that tiny little loophole for him. See, I

0:36:57.520 --> 0:37:02.480
<v Speaker 1>was I was in an exclusive relationship for six months,

0:37:02.680 --> 0:37:05.919
<v Speaker 1>and but he like would never call me. I would

0:37:05.960 --> 0:37:08.200
<v Speaker 1>never call him my boyfriend, and he would never call

0:37:08.239 --> 0:37:10.440
<v Speaker 1>me a girlfriend, but he would say, like you're my

0:37:10.560 --> 0:37:16.480
<v Speaker 1>girl or whatever. But it was like that like level

0:37:16.520 --> 0:37:19.560
<v Speaker 1>of commitment, Like there was just like that one little

0:37:19.600 --> 0:37:22.319
<v Speaker 1>extra step to have that label on it, and like

0:37:22.400 --> 0:37:25.919
<v Speaker 1>he just didn't want that. So even though we were

0:37:26.040 --> 0:37:28.360
<v Speaker 1>still only people seeing each other, I think that was

0:37:28.440 --> 0:37:32.160
<v Speaker 1>like again his loophole. One of my best friends had

0:37:32.200 --> 0:37:35.040
<v Speaker 1>this experience, and I'm telling you, he would say the

0:37:35.040 --> 0:37:37.160
<v Speaker 1>exact same thing, like you're the only girl I care about,

0:37:37.239 --> 0:37:41.200
<v Speaker 1>You're the only girl i'm seeing low so adamant about that,

0:37:41.760 --> 0:37:45.719
<v Speaker 1>and and yet would not call her girlfriend. I'm telling you,

0:37:45.760 --> 0:37:48.480
<v Speaker 1>like at least a year. It was so bad to

0:37:48.520 --> 0:37:50.439
<v Speaker 1>the point where like they were almost living with each

0:37:50.440 --> 0:37:53.400
<v Speaker 1>other and he wasn't calling her girlfriend. But finally he

0:37:53.480 --> 0:37:56.239
<v Speaker 1>got over it, but I don't remember that there was

0:37:56.280 --> 0:37:59.239
<v Speaker 1>like a hurdle. But he was so uncomfortable just with

0:37:59.320 --> 0:38:02.879
<v Speaker 1>the title. I don't know. That's bizarre to me. Yeah,

0:38:02.960 --> 0:38:05.560
<v Speaker 1>so I have a follow question. Why would that title

0:38:05.600 --> 0:38:09.920
<v Speaker 1>be uncomfortable men? Yeah? No, I agree, it shouldn't be.

0:38:10.000 --> 0:38:14.120
<v Speaker 1>If you're exclusive, then just be boyfriend girlfriend. There's legitimate,

0:38:14.200 --> 0:38:17.000
<v Speaker 1>there's no difference. Yeah, I agree. I love that title.

0:38:17.080 --> 0:38:19.200
<v Speaker 1>I wanted like when I was a dating man. We'd

0:38:19.200 --> 0:38:20.760
<v Speaker 1>go on one day and I'm like starting my girlfriend.

0:38:22.480 --> 0:38:24.960
<v Speaker 1>Oh my gosh. I know. It's so exciting when you're

0:38:25.040 --> 0:38:28.520
<v Speaker 1>able to use that word. Yeah, boyfriend girlfriend. No, I agree,

0:38:28.560 --> 0:38:30.759
<v Speaker 1>especially in the early stages when you start going out

0:38:30.840 --> 0:38:32.680
<v Speaker 1>and like you hang out with your friends and you're like, oh,

0:38:32.680 --> 0:38:35.920
<v Speaker 1>this is my girlfriend. Are you Like you're like family

0:38:36.000 --> 0:38:38.560
<v Speaker 1>get togethers and you're like, oh, my boyfriend does that

0:38:38.680 --> 0:38:42.279
<v Speaker 1>or my boyfriend's coming. Yeah. I mean, it gets old,

0:38:42.360 --> 0:38:46.600
<v Speaker 1>but it's very nice at the beginning stage. Uh. What

0:38:46.840 --> 0:38:49.200
<v Speaker 1>was your biggest dream when you guys were kids. That's

0:38:49.200 --> 0:38:51.319
<v Speaker 1>a question. I like this one. It's not dating, but

0:38:51.360 --> 0:38:54.000
<v Speaker 1>you know, it's very cute. Oh man, I mean besides

0:38:54.040 --> 0:38:56.960
<v Speaker 1>being superman. I'm not sure I mean you guys. I

0:38:57.040 --> 0:39:00.799
<v Speaker 1>used to watch I loved Backdraft the movie, and I

0:39:00.880 --> 0:39:03.239
<v Speaker 1>used to watch Rescue nine one one. So I wanted

0:39:03.320 --> 0:39:06.600
<v Speaker 1>to be a firefighter until I was like six firefighter Ashley.

0:39:07.719 --> 0:39:14.320
<v Speaker 1>It's very cute. You'd be a terrible firefighter. Becky, what

0:39:14.360 --> 0:39:19.600

0:39:19.719 --> 0:39:23.200

0:39:23.200 --> 0:39:25.080
<v Speaker 1>like my parents always just I could sing before I

0:39:25.080 --> 0:39:28.480
<v Speaker 1>could talk. So my dream was to be like a superstar,

0:39:28.680 --> 0:39:31.000

<v Speaker 1>I wanted to be honestly, as a kid, I wanted

0:40:41.640 --> 0:40:44.000
<v Speaker 1>to be a cop because I grew up watching cop movies.

0:40:44.440 --> 0:40:46.080

0:40:46.080 --> 0:40:49.360

0:41:05.120 --> 0:41:11.799

0:41:11.840 --> 0:41:16.360
<v Speaker 1>first day? And you obviously should it not be ours? Like,

0:41:16.480 --> 0:41:19.680
<v Speaker 1>because that's obvious? I guess yeah, Oh no, you don't

0:41:19.719 --> 0:41:21.920
<v Speaker 1>want it, You don't want to hear about it. Probably

0:41:22.080 --> 0:41:23.600
<v Speaker 1>don't want to hear about it. It was something I

0:41:23.680 --> 0:41:26.319
<v Speaker 1>don't want to know. Well, like, is it somebody that

0:41:26.360 --> 0:41:30.400
<v Speaker 1>I like I know of? Um, when I think about that,

0:41:30.600 --> 0:41:33.600
<v Speaker 1>I guess that was like two that were really really nice,

0:41:34.440 --> 0:41:37.439
<v Speaker 1>but like they obviously nothing really evercame of them. They're

0:41:37.560 --> 0:41:41.800
<v Speaker 1>very nothing. Well, what was it? Very weird? Did you

0:41:41.880 --> 0:41:45.279
<v Speaker 1>have a boat? One boat? Didn't you go to boat

0:41:45.320 --> 0:41:48.799
<v Speaker 1>or something? I want a boat with Jonas brothers? Well,

0:41:48.800 --> 0:41:53.839
<v Speaker 1>that's stupid, you know mine? Okay, one was with like

0:41:53.920 --> 0:41:58.760
<v Speaker 1>a friend who like we kissed a few times before,

0:41:59.160 --> 0:42:02.239
<v Speaker 1>and we went to an Orioles game and then to

0:42:02.320 --> 0:42:05.560
<v Speaker 1>a bar afterward, and it was just fun. And then

0:42:05.960 --> 0:42:07.719
<v Speaker 1>that was like a that was like a date date,

0:42:07.760 --> 0:42:09.279
<v Speaker 1>but it was like the only date we ever went on.

0:42:09.960 --> 0:42:14.440
<v Speaker 1>And then the other one was just like somebody this

0:42:14.520 --> 0:42:17.480
<v Speaker 1>is that I got along with? Well, and we went

0:42:17.520 --> 0:42:19.439
<v Speaker 1>to a really nice restaurant and like you could tell

0:42:19.440 --> 0:42:21.920
<v Speaker 1>that like he like hand picked it and like the

0:42:21.960 --> 0:42:24.719
<v Speaker 1>people knew him there and it was just a very

0:42:24.719 --> 0:42:28.680
<v Speaker 1>easy conversation. That's it. That's very weird. What about you, Thanky,

0:42:28.760 --> 0:42:31.680
<v Speaker 1>what's your best first date. I don't know if I

0:42:31.800 --> 0:42:37.400
<v Speaker 1>have one. Um, I mean tomorrow is probably listening, so

0:42:39.880 --> 0:42:43.840
<v Speaker 1>poor guy. Um. Yeah, I don't really think like I have.

0:42:44.160 --> 0:42:46.680
<v Speaker 1>I mean I just had like good conversations and good dates,

0:42:46.680 --> 0:42:48.960
<v Speaker 1>but I don't think there's anything like an activity that

0:42:49.080 --> 0:42:50.799
<v Speaker 1>was like, wow, this guy really put a lot of

0:42:50.800 --> 0:42:54.399
<v Speaker 1>thought in there, and this was fun and cool. But yeah,

0:42:54.480 --> 0:42:56.720
<v Speaker 1>I mean the whole weekeme was tomorrow was great. Tomorrow.

0:42:56.719 --> 0:43:02.520
<v Speaker 1>If you're listening, you're also but you can't see your

0:43:02.560 --> 0:43:07.279
<v Speaker 1>wife either. My my wife and I never had like

0:43:07.280 --> 0:43:09.560
<v Speaker 1>a first date. That's something that we talked about. But

0:43:09.680 --> 0:43:11.879
<v Speaker 1>but something else we were talking about the other day

0:43:12.000 --> 0:43:16.279
<v Speaker 1>is like having an incredible first date with someone and

0:43:16.280 --> 0:43:19.560
<v Speaker 1>then it like doesn't go anywhere or like or you

0:43:19.600 --> 0:43:22.719
<v Speaker 1>know what I mean, Like that can happen. And yeah,

0:43:22.760 --> 0:43:25.400
<v Speaker 1>I mean it wasn't anything crazy, but I do remember

0:43:25.800 --> 0:43:27.920
<v Speaker 1>there was this young lady named Bronica that I did

0:43:27.960 --> 0:43:29.520
<v Speaker 1>it for like a year, and our first date was

0:43:29.560 --> 0:43:31.080
<v Speaker 1>just one of those nights that you just like never

0:43:31.120 --> 0:43:33.880
<v Speaker 1>want to end. Like, you know, you got to dinner

0:43:33.920 --> 0:43:35.919
<v Speaker 1>and if everything's going great, and then you go get

0:43:35.920 --> 0:43:38.200
<v Speaker 1>coffee and then in our case, who went down to

0:43:38.239 --> 0:43:41.279
<v Speaker 1>the seaside of musement park that I used to and

0:43:41.480 --> 0:43:43.080
<v Speaker 1>wrote some rides. It was just it was just a

0:43:43.120 --> 0:43:46.839
<v Speaker 1>great time and you know, it was very nice, very

0:43:46.880 --> 0:43:50.360
<v Speaker 1>nice night. Um. And then the relationship ended quite poorly,

0:43:50.480 --> 0:43:54.640
<v Speaker 1>but that's okay. Um. Yeah, I'm my one of my

0:43:54.719 --> 0:43:58.080
<v Speaker 1>favorite first dates besides ours, of course, because I went

0:43:58.120 --> 0:44:01.320
<v Speaker 1>bowling one time, um with a girl and that was

0:44:01.360 --> 0:44:03.080
<v Speaker 1>a lot of fun because I never really went on

0:44:03.120 --> 0:44:06.280
<v Speaker 1>any sports activity with a girl on a date before

0:44:06.440 --> 0:44:08.279
<v Speaker 1>on a first day, and so that was super fun

0:44:08.320 --> 0:44:11.160
<v Speaker 1>because she was competitive and good at bowling so and

0:44:11.200 --> 0:44:15.600
<v Speaker 1>I'm very competitive and decent that bowling. So that was fun. Uh.

0:44:15.640 --> 0:44:17.960
<v Speaker 1>And went to like, you know, some cool bowling place

0:44:18.040 --> 0:44:20.960
<v Speaker 1>that's like you know, has like club at not club outnesshere,

0:44:21.000 --> 0:44:23.120
<v Speaker 1>but it's musing playing and dim lighting and there's like

0:44:23.120 --> 0:44:25.359
<v Speaker 1>the neon lights everywhere. So that was fun. And then

0:44:25.400 --> 0:44:26.759
<v Speaker 1>the other one I went, I went on a date

0:44:26.800 --> 0:44:28.440
<v Speaker 1>at first date at one time with a girl that

0:44:28.600 --> 0:44:31.560
<v Speaker 1>it went really well and we it was like similar

0:44:31.560 --> 0:44:33.719
<v Speaker 1>to you East and actually you saying it reminded me

0:44:33.760 --> 0:44:35.680
<v Speaker 1>of it. Where we stayed up to like four or

0:44:35.719 --> 0:44:37.880
<v Speaker 1>five in the morning, just like talking and then you're like,

0:44:37.920 --> 0:44:40.400
<v Speaker 1>holy it's five in the morning, the sun's coming up.

0:44:40.760 --> 0:44:42.520
<v Speaker 1>So that was a great first day as well, but

0:44:42.600 --> 0:44:45.040
<v Speaker 1>nothing ever compared to But I do agree with like

0:44:45.080 --> 0:44:47.920
<v Speaker 1>it being like kind of something that you wouldn't normally do.

0:44:48.080 --> 0:44:49.719
<v Speaker 1>Like when we did go to the Orioles game, it

0:44:49.760 --> 0:44:52.319
<v Speaker 1>was like Camden Yards a summer night. It's like a

0:44:52.320 --> 0:44:55.600
<v Speaker 1>cool feel and it's like he had friends that like

0:44:55.640 --> 0:44:58.839
<v Speaker 1>always gathered around this one bar before like in the

0:44:58.880 --> 0:45:01.799
<v Speaker 1>stadium before or the game started, and you could just

0:45:01.800 --> 0:45:05.319
<v Speaker 1>tell he was like proud to show to them, which

0:45:05.360 --> 0:45:07.799
<v Speaker 1>is nice. It was cool, And that's the end of

0:45:07.840 --> 0:45:13.560
<v Speaker 1>this weird conversation. Yeah, so there's this question I want

0:45:13.560 --> 0:45:18.640
<v Speaker 1>to ask that one, um, should you know I don't

0:45:18.760 --> 0:45:21.760
<v Speaker 1>know that I don't know. I like maybe a ballpark

0:45:21.920 --> 0:45:23.960
<v Speaker 1>maybe supposed to know, like a ball The question is,

0:45:23.960 --> 0:45:29.360
<v Speaker 1>should you know the number of sexual partners your partner

0:45:29.440 --> 0:45:36.279
<v Speaker 1>has had? And I i'd say a ballpark figure, Yeah, yeah,

0:45:36.680 --> 0:45:39.480
<v Speaker 1>I don't know, Like yeah, I think it might be

0:45:39.520 --> 0:45:42.720
<v Speaker 1>worse if you know the exact number and you're like, oh, yeah,

0:45:42.960 --> 0:45:45.759
<v Speaker 1>thirty seven or whatever it is, then you're like, oh what, yeah,

0:45:45.760 --> 0:45:51.200
<v Speaker 1>you're keeping count. I have learned not to share my number.

0:45:51.239 --> 0:45:54.560
<v Speaker 1>But then also not to ask me number because this

0:45:54.680 --> 0:46:00.759
<v Speaker 1>one guy scared me with how big his number was. Um,

0:46:00.840 --> 0:46:08.160
<v Speaker 1>and I just want, I just want um. It was

0:46:08.320 --> 0:46:09.719
<v Speaker 1>it was like it was a couple of years ago,

0:46:09.760 --> 0:46:11.800
<v Speaker 1>so I'm sure it's grace now, but it was a hundred.

0:46:15.640 --> 0:46:18.440
<v Speaker 1>Yes he can. I thought. I laughed because I was like,

0:46:18.480 --> 0:46:22.560
<v Speaker 1>you're joking, and he's like so specific, it's so precise. Yeah,

0:46:22.600 --> 0:46:24.759
<v Speaker 1>And I was like, you really keep trying. Do you

0:46:24.800 --> 0:46:27.120
<v Speaker 1>have the written down? Yeah, you have like a white

0:46:27.120 --> 0:46:30.560
<v Speaker 1>board in his bedroom, Like I had a kiss the dust,

0:46:30.880 --> 0:46:33.399
<v Speaker 1>but like my kiss less was only twenty two, I think,

0:46:33.960 --> 0:46:36.440
<v Speaker 1>so like that wasn't like it was like kissless that

0:46:36.520 --> 0:46:38.920
<v Speaker 1>was twenty two. That's pretty cute and innocent. Yeah, I

0:46:38.960 --> 0:46:43.880
<v Speaker 1>mean that's very adorable. I agree with the kind of

0:46:44.080 --> 0:46:46.399
<v Speaker 1>like you guys ever see I forget which American pie

0:46:46.480 --> 0:46:48.960
<v Speaker 1>it is, but they're like any guy that tells you

0:46:49.000 --> 0:46:52.120
<v Speaker 1>his number divided by three, and that's the actual number

0:46:52.160 --> 0:46:55.000
<v Speaker 1>of people he slept with and with girls, whatever number

0:46:55.080 --> 0:46:58.279
<v Speaker 1>they tell you, multiply it by three and that's the

0:46:58.320 --> 0:47:02.240
<v Speaker 1>actual number of people. That's what interesting Because your best

0:47:02.280 --> 0:47:06.360
<v Speaker 1>girlfriend told me a number for Jared that was far different,

0:47:06.600 --> 0:47:09.480
<v Speaker 1>like one third the amount than the one that he

0:47:09.640 --> 0:47:12.719
<v Speaker 1>told me on our honeymoon. How the hell would she know?

0:47:13.000 --> 0:47:16.080
